Since my friend has been at Meifod, she seems so much happier. There is always a lot to do, and carers are very helpful and friendly. Management are welcoming to everyone. I've enjoyed listening to the music events very much too. Food is good, nice room, lovely patio areas to sit and enjoy the sun.

Since my mum moved to Meiford she is much happier. The staff have been fabulous with her and really made her come out of herself. She is eating much better and socialising. She loves her little room and feels very at home. It's the best I have seen her in years. She is very well looked after.

My sister came to Meiford in June 2024, I was concerned about leaving her, as I had been her carer for many years. My concerns soon disappeared seeing how well she fitted in. It is like she has a new family and is being cared for in a professional and caring home. I am always made welcome and kept up
to date by manager and staff. I highly recommend Meiford.

Reply from Nazmeen Arif, Director/RI at Meifod & Vicarage Court

The carers are welcoming and friendly and attentive. The management are friendly, informed and professional. Lovely entertainment programme. The decor is tired along with soft furnishings and in need of modernisation and updating in communal areas and the bedrooms.

I am very happy that my dad is a resident at this home in particular.
He is very well cared for and has a very good time with the staff who are kind and caring. Dad often has a good laugh with his carers and they always have a sympathetic attitude when he isn't at his best.

My mum was very looked after and loved, the carers could not do enough for her. I knew leaving her there was a good thing and I could breathe nothing she was safe there. Would recommend to anyone who wanted to place a family member in Meifod & Vicarage Court.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.794 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.794

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meifod & Vicarage Court is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
